List
of Reference Sources to Consult
The
List of Reference Sources to Consult is a selective list of print and
electronic research tools that are arranged in 13 topical sections and
are described both by type - dictionary, encyclopedia, bibliography -
and by topic - United States History, American Revolution, Primary Sources,
Newspapers, Diaries, etc.
Each
of the titles listed below are linked to descriptive information. At least
one title from each topical section is described; other sources (titles
that are indented on the list) are similar in arrangement and function
to the one described in the topical section, therefore, it is mentioned
but not described. Those titles that are described are highlighted and
have a [detail] icon next to the title. Clicking the sources marked with
a [detail] icon will link you to the descriptive section for that source.
Each description provides information about how to use the source, what
type of information is contained within the source, and what the indexes
have to offer. Sources with a similar arrangement and function are indented
and listed directly below the highlighted source. Clicking these titles
will link you to the appropriate sub-section, which contains descriptions
of like sources. These titles will be listed together as Similar Sources
to Consult.
Each
of the titles is referred to again in the descriptive section of information
about the sources. Clicking on the title here will bring you to the Bibliography
of Reference Sources where you will find the full citation for any
of the titles listed.
